JVC KW-V830BT Android Auto / Apple CarPlay CD/DVD Stereo

Oooo, this one's fancy. Are you fancy enough for it? We think so. The JVC KW-V830BT, a member of JVC's El Kameleon line, doesn't just look clean, it sounds clean. It walks the walk, it talks the talk it...

Alright, I'll stop. Here's the bottom line, this headunit does a lot of cool stuff. But it doesn't just do it, it does it well. It's your in-dash gateway to your phone's best features and more importantly, the command center for your music. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay? At this price? C'mon, there's no reason you shouldn't hit "Add to Cart."

We get it, Android and Apple users can be pretty rabid about which smartphone is better. But check this out: This JVC stereo doesn't care which platform you like better, it just wants you to be happy. That's why the JVC KW-M730BT has both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay loaded onto it. Fanboys and fangirls on either side of the aisle still have something to argue about, but they have a stereo that works beautifully for all of them. Yes, JVC hears your "Thank you" and comes back with a "You're welcome."

Now you see it, now you don't. JVC's El Kameleon feature makes would-be thieves pass up your vehicle by blending the stereo right into your dash. And hey, it looks cool, too. Seamless dash integration means you'll hardly notice it's there when it's turned off. But man, when you turn that 6.8" WVGA touchscreen on, it'll be the centerpiece of your car's interior.
